More experienced posters than myself can advise us for how long our aluminum M44 engines can run above 212F..
If the radiator is original, then perhaps (like me) you're due for a new one.
After much research and debate, I added Redline's Water Wetter last year and saw an immediate drop from ~212F to 195F during 100F ambient days last summer.

Just more FYI on Water Wetter.
I got about the same drop in temps using Water Wetter on the '87 924S.
You only need 1 ounce per quart. 2 gallons=8oz., Using the entire bottle will not lower the temps further. At $11 a bottle --watch for sales--- save some for the next coolant flush.
Red Line Synthetic Oil - WaterWetter® Coolant Additives - WaterWetter®
Water Wetter will work best (drop temps further) if you use less coolant than the prescribed 50/50 mix.
